Jenin - Saba:
Israeli occupation forces have continued to raid the village of Faqqu'a, east of Jenin, for more than nine hours.
Head of the village council Barakat al-Omari told the Palestinian News Agency (Wafa) that the occupation forces stormed the town at midnight last night with a large number of infantry units.
The enemy forces raided a house, forced its residents to evacuate, and turned it into a military barracks.
Al-Omari added that the occupation forces arrested citizen Ahmed Jalghoum after raiding and searching his home and interrogating his family members on the spot.
The occupation soldiers also checked citizens' IDs, obstructed the passage of vehicles, and interrogated their owners.
Al-Omari said that the occupation forces raid the village almost daily due to its proximity to the apartheid wall, but this raid was the largest in terms of the number of soldiers.
The village schools canceled classes for the day and announced the postponement of scheduled exams to a later date, in order to preserve the lives and safety of the students.
It's worth noting that Faqqu'a has a population of 5,200 and has been surrounded by the Apartheid Wall since 2003, which has swallowed up 240 dunams of its land.
